As baby grows, I've been experiencing a myriad of changes:
1. Due to the increasing weight, I really move around by waddling from side to side. It's just easier to walk like that!
2. When sleeping, I find it difficult to get into a comfy position due to my expanding bump. I often toss and turn at night now. And I always have to wake up once to pee! *groan*
3. Since two weeks ago, purplish and reddish stretch marks started to appear beneath my belly button. Argh, so frustrating! So much for slapping on so much clarins stretch mark cream and body oil. Guess stretch marks are really hereditary.
4. Baby's movements are so strong nowadays that they shock me sometimes. Just that day, I saw her elbow/arm sticking out of my belly and it caused my belly to look oddly off shape. G saw it too and we found it hilarious. Sometimes she also pokes my ribs. And recently, she's been having hiccups quite frequently and they often feel like strong, rhythmic pulses in my belly. Just yesterday, I felt her hand/foot against my fingers and when I put more pressure, she moved against my hand. It was an amazing feeling.
5. Been getting these stitch like pains in my lower abdomen. Not sure what they are really. I don't think they're Braxton hicks since that's supposed to feel more like cramps. Hopefully nothing to worry about!
6. I've still been getting CTS so my fingers still hurt during the nights and mornings. I think I'm getting used to the pain though! Cause it doesn't quite bother me anymore. Sometimes G massages my finger joints so that's really nice and comforting.
7. My shoes are getting a bit snug so I guess that's my feet becoming more swollen as the day approaches. Still no need to change my shoes yet so I'll monitor my situation.
So far, I've been facing these new things and challenges. Just taking it all in and cherishing these moments because they will come to pass and I will surely miss them.
